  1. The Blog of Burgher Jon Quarterly Update 2010 Q1

    Posted by Burgher Jon
    / April 1, 2010 / Leave a comment
    I’m not publicly traded, nor do I make any sort of profit from my musings here and on Twitter.  However, I still think it’s worthwhile to do a bit of a quarterly status since we (both you the readers and me the writer) have invested quite a bit of time...

    Friends/Readers/Commenters, All bloggers go in to blogging for one reason or another.  I’m in it (primarily) to help build a community around and gain exposure for the Pittsburgh Technology Scene.  Don’t get me wrong, there are some tremendous side effects; getting the opportunity to talk about technology and Pittsburgh, network...

    A friend of mine (and fellow blogger) is preparing to launch a really innovative and exciting website that will be focused on politics.  He wants to start it up in Pittsburgh and a few other cities around the burgh (I’ll keep you posted as features become available).  While he’s a...
  4. On a Blogroll for the Blog of Burgher Jon

    Posted by Burgher Jon
    / February 13, 2010 / 2 Comments
    I have debated on whether or not to put a blogroll (from the English for Blog Honor Roll) on this blog since I decided to relaunch it with its current Pittsburgh/Technology theme.  In the past several years my blog has gone from no blogroll to a long, comprehensive one and...

    / January 22, 2010 / 4 Comments
    Bob Mayo posted an interesting answer to my question on the coverage of the BRESMA situation over on his blog, The Busman’s Holiday.  I’m posting my question and excerpts of his answer below.  His answer implies, to me, that the primary reasons main stream media stayed away from giving credit...

  8. Tweet

    Posted by Burgher Jon
    / March 10, 2009 / 1 Comment
    I’m on Twitter now. As I have less and less time to do real blog postings (though I still intend to drop them in from time to time), I thought I would integrate Twitter. It will give me a chance to keep a voice out there, using my phone. Don’t...

    Posted by Burgher Jon
    / November 3, 2008 / Leave a comment
    One of the few redeeming characteristics of my move to Charlotte (besides the cool job) was going to be a 12 month golf season with spectacular whether, even in November. So much for that.
  10. Not a Lot of News

    Posted by Burgher Jon
    / October 20, 2008 / Leave a comment
    As the world holds its breath to see how Wall Street will respond to its first net UP week in quite a while, I have little to report and even less time to do it. I read the post-gazette and the burghosphere this morning and it seems that no one...
